Indore (Madhya Pradesh): For the convenience, safety and security of the People of Indian Origin (PIO) who are coming to take part in the Pravasi Bhartiya Sammelan, city police will install QR Codes at 2500 locations through which the PIOs would be able to get police help within minutes.
Dubbed as Know Your Cop initiative, the QR Codes will be installed near hotels, the venue of the summit (Brilliant Convention Centre), main markets, malls etc in the city.
Commissioner of police Harinarayanachari Mishra, talking to reporters on Monday, said that Indore police are gearing up to ensure the guests coming for the summit do not face even the slightest inconvenience.
The QR Codes will have the name of the nearest police station, its location and the phone numbers of the officers at the police station. Once the QR code is scanned the concerned officer of the nearby police station will come to know of it and will reach the spot with the help of GPS location.

User can scan QR Codes with common scanner
